Crushed Stone ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your South Dakota address and unloads right where you point.








Crushed stone is sold by the ton at Gravel Monkey, not by the bag. You choose the product and quantity on the website, and the price is calculated from your ZIP code. A dump truck brings the load to your address across South Dakota.
The right crushed stone does more than fill a hole. It drains water, resists shifting in freeze-thaw cycles, and stays put under traffic. Getting the size right matters.
Each crushed stone product at Gravel Monkey is sized for a specific job. The wrong size can cause poor drainage, base failure, or wasted material. Here is what each product is suited for and what to avoid.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Stone | Paver setting bed and tight fill | Too small for heavy traffic; use for levelling voids under pavers. |
| 3/4" Crushed Stone | The all-purpose size for base and drainage | Works under driveways, patios, and gravel paths. |
| 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Heavy base and erosion control | Not for final wearing surface; use below grade for stability. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Stone | Rip rap style edging and deep fill | Large chunks lock together; avoid where you need a smooth surface. |
| #57 Crushed Stone | Concrete aggregate, French drains, driveway base | Clean angular stone; drains well and compacts firmly. |
| #67 Stone | Concrete mix and drainage backfill | Slightly smaller than #57; good for trench backfill. |
| #8 Stone | Paver joints and pipe bedding | Smallest washed stone; fills gaps without shifting. |
| #10 Rock Screenings | Leveling course under pavers | Dusty fines create a hard base; not for drainage beds. |
The table below matches common projects to the right crushed stone size and a depth or installation note.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Driveway base layer | 3/4" Crushed Stone or #57 Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted; top with gravel if desired. |
| French drain | #57 Crushed Stone or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone | Clean stone, no fines; wrap in fabric. |
| Concrete slab base | #57 Crushed Stone or 3/4" Crushed Stone | 4 to 6 inches compacted; check local code. |
| Pipe backfill | #67 Stone or #8 Stone | Surround pipe with clean stone for drainage. |
| Paver bedding | 3/8" Crushed Stone or #10 Rock Screenings | 1 inch leveling course; use screenings for compact base. |
Across the cities where Gravel Monkey delivers in South Dakota, annual precipitation runs from about 20 to 29 inches. That range means drainage matters more in the wetter parts of the state. Crushed stone with good drainage, such as #57, helps prevent water pooling and frost heave.
Freezing days range from about 157 to 181 days a year below 32F, depending on location. Most of the state sits in the severe band for ground freezing. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A well-compacted crushed stone base resists that movement.
The soils in the served areas are mostly hydrologic groups C and B. These soils drain moderately, so a deeper base of crushed stone is often needed to keep water away from the surface. The South Dakota Department of Transportation runs a spring load-restriction program that limits heavy truck loads during thaw periods. This can affect delivery timing in the spring, but Gravel Monkey coordinates with drivers to adjust scheduling when restrictions are in effect.

The variation in rainfall, freezing days, and soil types across the state affects how crushed stone performs. In areas with more rain and deeper frost, a larger base depth and clean stone sizes like #57 help manage water and frost heave.
